"Why were you searching for him?" Asked the dwarf, raising a bushy red eyebrow, "And why," Umandar kicked the discarded crossbow, "Were you carrying an unregistered weapon through a Dark Watch protected area through alleyways at night?"

"We have registered weapons?" Simon asked with surprise. "Besides, I was scheduled in this section," he added, gesturing at his tabard. "And I'm not exactly with the Watch." He turned to Eleanor. "Have you turned in a missing person's report?"

Striess quickly adjusted the telescope so that it was pointing through the clouds, starring straight up into the sky. He patiently waited for the last vestiges of cover to disappear.
However, when it did, he wished it hadn't.

: Nicol Balogh
Location
: Grimmwald Plains
A fascinated predatory smile appeared on Nicol's face, only to be replaced by a grimace of irritation several seconds later when his ears twitched, registering a syncopated chord in the melody of the haunted wind. Someone has foolishly trespassed in his domain and severed one of his people's threads to oblivion. He tilted his head to the side in an attempt to hear more and the frown softened. From this place in the Forest, he could not make out the details, beyond a very important one - whoever had been taken by death, their heart had not yet began to beat with the rhythms of eternity.
All the same, such a transgression against the mighty house Balogh could not be forgiven. Nicol decided to look into it after his hunt was over for the night. The troubled contemplation lasted all of two seconds - though it was still more than enough for someone like his beloved cousin to notice it - before Nicol turned his gaze downwards again.
"The mist conceals and then reveals," he drawled.

Location: Grimmwald, Cathedral District
There were too much sounds! An argument in the alleyway, something going on in the graveyard, it was all too confusing. And now the clouds were dissipating. Weighing up his options, Verpol decided to wait here, his job wasn't to investigate after all, it was too stop any thief going through the front doors. As if any professional thief would do that. Yawning again, Verpol played around with his belt.

"Five years?" snorted Umandar, "And you still think your just going to find him crouched in an alley? What was the bow for? Were you planning on shooting him?"

Irving Mortorus, Capricia Mortorus, R. B. Havoc
Location:
Grimmwald, Cemetary
The cart trundled out of the tight confines of the graveyard and into the fields. The trio took back roads, slinking near lonely fences and farms with windows battered and doors barred as though under siege. And out amongst the dread fields, such was a constant and definite possibility.
Irving bundled deeper into his coat, sitting on the lid of the coffin and watching as the stakes of fences passed like bars to a cell. Dawn was still a ways off, but he could see the dour, towering trees in the distance. Soon, the cart turned into a deep road, grooves cut into the dirt betraying its once frequent use, though the encroaching ivy made it clear it had been some time since it had played host to any number of travellers. This was because the trail led in an unerring line towards the black trees of the forest itself.
The wheels slid into the grooves like an errant piece of a puzzle.
Capricia suddenly stood. Irving glanced her way questioningly, but her eye was elsewhere. Curious, the young grave robber followed her one eyed gaze, his own eyes widening at a slight break in the clouds over the city.
"What in azeroth..."

Character:
Eye
Location:
Grimmwald, Cathedral District
Eye was back in his meager apartments by now; laughing and crying, feeling emotions that he had forgotten for so long. He no longer found killing as pleasurable as it did before; he envied those he murdered, they had souls.
But it was to late now, his soul had been taken and consumed. Eye looked down at the long list, it was time to give the Baloghs some time to mourn before they lost another member. His skipped ahead to the fifth target; an old beggar named George Garuntingy. He sighed, wondering why he had to kill this haphazard group of people. The targets ranged from very powerful nobles to petty footpads.
Ah well, he had made the choice so long ago, kill or die. It was his life; but now he found himself hoping, for the first time ever, that someone would kill him. Eye reached inside his body mentally, touching the jagged square amethyst that replaced his Heart. He looked back at the list, reading where the beggar normally waited. And he
pushed
.
The world spun around him; colors flashed, blinding him. Lights flickered and voices sounded from the deep places of his mind. It seemed to stretch on for many agonizing hours...when it finally cleared, Eye stood at a street corner, twenty feet away from the beggar; less than a second had passed. He advanced.

"Why did you have the weapon and-" Umandar cut off, "Who are you talking to?" the dwarf looked up too.

Simon frowned, but looked up as well, and his eyes widened in shock. The clouds,
all of them
, had begun to rotate around the apex of the tower. They seemed to be stretching upwards, as if forming a funnel into the great beyond.
And there, at the very tip of the vortex, they could see the sky.
For the first time in almost 50 years, the sky was visible.
Character
: Dr. Harold Streiss
Location
: Grimmwald, Mage District
"It's not possible!" Streiss said in horror, staggering backwards from his telescope and collapsing to the floor. "The sky! The sky is gone!"
Indeed, visible even without the telescope, the sky above them was a deep, deep black, with stars twinkling over head. A large moon floating near them, as did the burned out, wrecked remains of what seemed to be another planet. It was colored a deep red, with patches of unwholesome looking green staining small portions of it.
Streaks of yellow, light green and pink light shot through the sky above them, framing what seemed to be a jagged, green and black hulk of metal.
Every mage had come to know and fear what they were looking at, for the stared at the Twisting Nether.

"What is the matter?" Andrey asked, indeed spotting Nicol's twitch.

"Poor Katie has passed away, cousin," Nicol said simply. "I am shamed that I have not taken her into the fold in time."

Irving squinted, but their distance from the city was such that he couldn't see anything save the curling of the clouds into a pit. "See anything?" he quizzed Capricia.
The girl shrugged. "Nah. Mages must be playing with the sky again."
Irving snorted and slumped back down onto the coffin.

Eye

Emotion swam across Eye's face for the first time in over two hundred years; stark horror plagued his face, his gut wrenched as he took in the Twisting Nether for the second time in his life. Slowly, he swallowed down what should not have been inside of him and turned back to his target. George was on his feet, but it was not the sky he was looking at; it was Eye.

Simon watched it for another couple seconds, then shook his head. "What it is, is irrelevant. I'm afraid I'm going to have to give you an escort home."

"How?" Andrey asked, though mostly rhetorically. "None would dare anger us."

"Would that I know. She was mortal still, so I only sensed her passing - nothing beyond the fact," Nicol explained.

Simon stepped back, awaiting her to rise. Chivalrous he might be, but stupid he wasn't.

"It would be prudent to investigate," Andrey mused, rubbing his exposed chin. "The show seems to be winding down, anyways."
Indeed, large swaths of people were simply gone, and the mist began retreating into the trees.
Character
: Dr. Harold Streiss
Location
: Grimmwald, Mage District
"Cut it, cut it!" Harold called to the mages, who began to hurriedly halt the ritual. The clouds over the spire began to slow down, rotating less quickly; eventually coming to a complete standstill. Slowly, ever so slowly, the clouds began to move over the hole, sealing it like a scar over a wound, until nothing remained to be seen.
